As for op. . . I'm thinking no badge would look cleaner.

Unless you specify on the contract what you want done, once you take delivery, most of the times the salesman or dealership would care less on your specific requests.

Minor stuff like this you are better off doing your self; dental floss, some goo gone and a hair dryer.

Another cleaner I recommend is the Honda Pro cleaner. It's more of a foam substance so it saturates the area better and doesn't evaporate. The odor isn't that strong and is originally intended for cleaning the ABS plastics on motorcycles so it won't scratch the clear.

This dealer will charge any extra job they need to do, simple thing like debadge is so easy to do and takes little time.

I wonder..just because you take the badges off, does that no longer make it a scion? I feel like if you don't want a scion that bad then don't buy the car. I don't really see what the big deal is.

It doesn't make it a Scion, but the guy driving by you will wonder what you're driving. The FR-S looks like an exotic to the common person, so why not pretend it's like one?

I don't have anything against people de-badging their cars, only thing that gets me are those that want to replace them with Toyota badges. Might as well go all the way and put some Ferrari horses on it.

People will argue that this car is a Toyota car. Everywhere else in the world besides Canada/USA it will be a Toyota. So there is nothing wrong putting Toyota badges on it since that is what it is at heart.

Yeah, I am going 100% debadge if I can. Its not because I am embarrassed of scion, its that it looks better as clean as possible, im personally nor a fan of any kind of branding on anything, and there's always the welcome unknown exotic appeal

Rofl there's also nothing wrong with leaving the Scion badges on because Scion is owned by Toyota.

It's roundabout logic.

People are gonna do what they think looks good.

Everyone else's opinions don't matter except for those of the one buying the car. Be it rice, or putting a Lexus badge on it. Sometimes it's ok to disagree.

I know you are fairly new here but my post said "some people will argue":
